Product Information

Williams said she believes the murders were premeditated based on the evidence. But death penalty or life in prison, she just wants justice. POMONA - Attorneys asked a jury Wednesday to decide whether a woman killed her husband and children in a fit of rage or if she coldly and methodically murdered them in an attempt to free herself from family life. The difference determines whether jurors choose second-degree murder or first degree murder - life in prison or the potential for the death penalty. POMONA – A judge sentenced Manling Tsang Williams to death Thursday for smothering her two young children with a pillow and slashing her husband to death with a sword in the family’s Rowland Heights home in 2007.

There was one big difference in the courtroom, though - the 12 new jurors and eight alternate jurors who are tasked with deciding if Williams will live out her days in prison or face the death penalty. There will be no more additional photographs in these frames," she said. "Never again. In 15 years, 20 years, Jan Williams will have these photographs and nothing more." Manling’s friends Melaney Ramirez and Jaclyn Bailey testified about Manling’s feelings for Gregory, and the problems she was having in her marriage.

Althaus discussed one of the factors of mitigation he felt the jury should consider, which was mercy for Williams. In the end, all those families have left are memories, Okun-Wiese said, as she showed recent photos of Neal and his children.

Prior to the killings, Manling Williams was “a kind, generous, troubled woman who loved her husband and children,” he said.
